I can't wait to get my tires mounted on my new race star wheels, get some rotational mass off and hook real nice from a stop!

you jump him out of the hole, he can't pull = you win

WSsick,I wasn't trying to talk trash or anything.The OP definitely won the race that's for sure.I watched the video a couple times after I posted that and its true the cobra was steadily falling back,it was a short race though and I have raced a couple cobras with similar mods and pulled them at first but they ended up catching up as we got into the higher speeds,either way the OP won no doubt about it.

Really? hmm.. i have never been top ended by a cobra

here is an oldddd video from like 2008 (different cobra lol) Basically the same mods as this one, but it didn't make as much HP.. I was cam only at the time. (white formula in the middle is full exhaust/125 shot) Vid cuts a bit short, but we both wound out 4th gear and i held him off. We probably raced 20 times with the same outcome. This cobra is F1A procharged now

x2. Looked like a steady pull to me. Both quick cars, nonetheless!

the cobra ran 12.0 @ 116 with just a JLT intake and a borla catback. Since then the car got the pulley, H pipe, etc and was dyno tuned. My car was a 118-120 trap car before i added the trick flow heads and took some weight out of it. So the jury is still out on everything. I would imagine both cars are in the 120's somewhere... Fwiw the yellow cobra spanked 2 other pullied cobras by about 1-2 car lengths. it is a strong runner for sure. No one has been able to get to the track yet. We have had record rainfall this spring and track days keep get canceled like clockwork.

Sounds like a strong running cobra if he trapped 116 without the pulley. Should be a 120-122mph car now and with trickflows/cam/and weight reduction you should be 122+

Nice job JT. I think the second race you posted is even more impressive.
